We have a big week this week in fifth grade! We are finishing up our personal narratives and celebrating our writing of those together. We will look these over together at conferences so we can see the progress from the beginning to the end of the unit. We will be starting our next writing unit with learning literary essay writing. We were introduced to the literary essays last year in fourth grade. We also have our unit 1 math assessment and will be starting unit 2 in math. The assessments will be sent home later this week or early next week and will also be used on the report card for grading the fraction unit. Unit 2 for us in math is decimals and place value. Watch for the family letter to come home explaining this unit in detail. Hang on to the letter in case questions arise with the homework throughout the unit. I will try to send home some explanation of the homework as much as possible and get the kids started on it in class to help with any of the confusion. We are also done with the "Reading with Power" which was our first reading unit and are moving on to "Insight into Characters" next. We will continue reading fiction books. Thanks for all of your continued support from home. We would really love and appreciate any donations of sticky notes to mark our thoughts in our books while reading, Lysol wipes, or Kleenex if you would be so kind. THANKS!!
